Seriously??

After a wicked sinus headache kept me up a good amount of the night tossing and turning, I finally couldn't take it any more and started moving around at 5:45 am, noticing the sun was coming up and everything was a strange yellowish hue. Surprisingly, when I finished with my shower, everything was black again??? Then it started with little warning, 50 mph winds, a tree bangs against the back of our house, and rain coming in the back windows drenching my cat and everything in the vicinity, while T is running around shutting windows, the doors slam shut from the wind. Finally it calms and just the rain is left. Thinking we somehow got out if it unscathed, I continue to get the boys ready, head downstairs for breakfast and look out the back window and notice there is a tree in our yard where their hadn't been before. Crap! "T" I yell, "you need to move that branch off E's historic oak tree before you leave before it kills it!", just then I notice the power line "Never mind, it is on the power line, I don't want you to get electrocuted before work", wait a minute....the power didn't even blink and the tree is laying on top of the line on the ground...how in the heck do we still have power? Phone line is a different story, clearly snapped in half and hanging from our house. Johnny on the Spot Electric Utility was over in about 15 min's even with all the other issues in town. The guys looked at it and somehow, it was not damaged at either the house or the pole! We must have the super stretchy Inspector Gadget kind of electric line. As I left, they were going to cut away the branches and pull the line back up. Way to start out the morning.
